National Multiple Sclerosis Society: Research Grants

The Society welcomes investigator-initiated applications for support of studies with high relevance to multiple sclerosis and the Society’s research priorities. The Society supports fundamental as well as applied studies, non-clinical or clinical in nature, including projects in patient management, care, and rehabilitation. It is expected that the person indicated as the principal investigator in an application for a grant is the one who is personally and actively responsible for the conduct of the research and who is considered eligible by his or her institution to apply for a research grant. The principal investigator need not be a United States citizen. Institutions, except in unusual circumstances, are the official recipients of grants made for the support of specific research by the principal investigator. The sponsoring institution may be in any country permitted under United States policies. Funding: Investigators may request funds for the following categories of expenditure: salaries for professional and non-professional personnel, patient costs, permanent equipment, consumable supplies, travel, other expenditures not included under the above categories, and indirect costs. The Society supports research grants for terms of one to five years.
